Description

I am using visual studio code with MySQL Shell for VS Code extension, when i create a connection to MySQL database it gives me the following: "The connection could not be opened: Access denied for user 'user'@'localhost' (using password: YES)".

But while I am using MySQL workbench it opens and no errors.

PS: I am using caching_sha2_password.

Research direction

No repository file or test entry point is named. Start by reproducing the connection through the MySQL Shell for VS Code extension with the reported caching_sha2_password account, then compare it with the successful MySQL Workbench connection; done means identifying and resolving the discrepancy so the VS Code connection opens.
